On Tuesday last Mr.. Thos. B. Cough, col
lec,or of the 2nd district, showed Us a receipt
from both the comptroller and State treasurer
for the full amount of his Indebtedness 10 the
State for the pres. mt fiscal year with the e1-
cep,ion of the sum OF Sl5s.O 90, Which amoun,
Mr.. Cough reserved to coser any State 'nso'-
vencies he might have on his tax books for tins
year. In view Of the fact that the transcript
from which the collections are made was not
given to the collectors until about the middle
Of July we thiuk it shows remarkable energy
on the part of Mr.. Cough to be able so early 10
settle almost in full to the State the amount of
State tax he has to collect. II may, perhaps,
seem fulsome 10 US TO so frequsntly reter to iae
promptness of this collector, as We several Tunes
of late have had occasion 10 do, but We ihlnS
it our province to recognize and give fuli creait
tn true merit wherever found; and again II
speaks we'll for the present administration OF
our county afairs to End such careful aoa

tor of State taxes in the entire commonwealth
that can show so early in the year similar
receipt to Mr.. Coughs.

WHY HEARST WAS ELECTED

A California politician who was
in the city yesterday, thus speaks
of George Hearst:
"Ofcourse :, none of Hearst friends
claim that he amounts to much.
He is rich and good natured; that's
about all, and no statesman either.
He goes to Washington, and there
meets lot of Southern members
who are not over-stocked with
money. He sits round with them,
tells funny stories, and sets up the
free gin all day and all night. Any
body who sets up plenty of free gin
and sets it up often, and sets it up
Is if it were cheaper than water,
will always find friends In Wash
ington.
well, the upshot of the matter
is, that when Hearst wants the sup
port of the Southern members on
bill they all stand in, and then
comes more stories and more free
gin. Under the circumstances /
thing he can do a good deal for
California. You can catch some
of these Southern members with
free gin, who would refuse a bride
of a million"
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1887-01-16
On Yes.

The San Francisco Post devotes
half column to giving a young
doctor send off who has success
fully performed complicated sur
gical operation. 1t closes by
stating that the doctor alluded te
and his friends are making frantic
efforts to keep the facts out of
print, but that the case is of such
unusual merit that the public
ought to know the successful sur
geon's name and the number Of the
street he lives On. The fact that
the doctor has just ordered 1000
extra copies which he and his
friends are frantically mailing all
over the country is kept carefully
IN the background. The same ep-
eration was once successfully per-
formed by the late DR.. Samuel
Cowles of San Francisco.

yyIs1NFORM ED.

A correspondent of the Enter
prise states that member OF the
Legislature, few evenings since,
hired a man to play faro for him,
and when the professional won
$1.400 for him, offered him
$s, for his work, refusing TO
give 80 per cent. as is customary in
in such cases among honorable
sports. The correspondent was
misinformed; the person who really
acted in this manner is a resident
OF this city, and not a member of
the Legislature, nor a man ever
likely to be. A good deal is
laid to the door of the Legislature
which does not rightfully belong
there. So far not single member
OF either House has been reported
as wasting time at cards or drink to
the detriment Of his public bust
ness.
1t is not uncommon to hear it
charged that the members sit but
an hour a day aud loaf the balance
of the time. This is one of the
popular errors regarding Legisla-
ton, which springs from public ig-
norance.
The short sessions in the middle
of the day are nothing compared to
the work done in the afternoon aud
evening in the Committee rooms.
Many Of the questions which come
before Committee require a great
deal of patient research and investi
CATION, and discussions, pro and
cen, some of which last until 2 or 3
in the morning, Legislators who
are attending to Committee work
have very little time to wrestle with
the tiger or indulge In any dissipa-
tion. The members of the present
session are above the average of
representative sent here in former
years. They are all disposed to at
tend to the interests Of their con-
stituents, and pass all bills which
assist in the development of the
State. The APPEAL predicts that
when the session is disposed Of,
that the people of Nevada will have
nothing but praise for the work
performed by the representatives
